new in Files section

[Guest guest]

I had recently posted asking if anyone knew where I could find the article

" Management of Plagiocephaly and Torticollis. " I also sent a message to the

Cedar Sinai site's webmaster, and I got a response today. The article is

supportive of helmet therapy (quoting excellent results), and talks about

possible permanent distortion of the head/face and ocular disturbances. It

is referenced in a sample appeal letter under Insurance Help, and I thought

others might find it a useful resource (I was not able to find it on the

web, and the link cited in the references section of the appeal letter was

no longer accurate). If I put it in the wrong place, I hope one of the

moderators will move it for me (it's directly under Files)?

Here's a quote from the article:

For those children with moderate to severe deformation, if no intervention

is made, there may be permanent

distortion of the head. In addition, this may lead to more prominent facial

asymmetry which may ultimately

lead to ocular disturbances.

Also, I added my letter to pediatrician's (asking that they share

information about plagio prevention, repositioning, and helmet therapy)

under Files/Letters in case other parents might find it useful in the

future.

Now if only I could add my appeal letter as a successful one to the

insurance help section (I just sent it out last Friday, so keep your fingers

crossed for me).

Thank you so much for adding this Kia - I haven't had time to read it

all yet, but I'll do so! Good luck with your appeal, my fingers are

crossed, keep us posted.
